He knows he did nothing wrong and it is unfortunate that the Gov. has vague laws to put people in this position (they know what they are doing), place blame where it is due, even though he is dead. One person did this crime and only one! Hill took the plea deal that was offered only because he didn't want a chance of being taken away from his family and sent to prison. He hasn't deserved anything he has gotten and more people like you need to stand up for that...thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529754.post-24344397212901185012008-02-20T19:20:00.000-06:002008-02-20T19:20:00.000-06:00Anon, thanks for reading.I'm certainly doing very ...Anon, thanks for reading.<BR/><BR/>I'm certainly doing very little for Mr. Hill--I wish I could do more.Kurt '45superman' Hofmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091930034162667742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529754.post-32505571437430487762008-02-20T19:17:00.000-06:002008-02-20T19:17:00.000-06:00Can I just say THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Mr. Hi...Can I just say THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Mr. Hill as been through Hell this last year. I just got word that this was out there, so I am sorry it is a month later. It is very sad that the Gov. had to ruin his life like this and also for the victim (Carolyn Tuft) that is now suing him. He has been a victim in all of this also! Thanks again for fighting for him!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529754.post-18967373109133478272008-01-11T10:31:00.000-06:002008-01-11T10:31:00.000-06:00To tell you the truth, HH, I'm still trying to fig...To tell you the truth, HH, I'm still trying to figure out what law is involved here. It could be (I wouldn't be surprised) that the BATFE is just making stuff up as they go along (again). <BR/><BR/>I <I>did</I> find <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawed_off_shotgun" REL="nofollow">this</A> in Wikipedia (I know--you get what you pay for)--it might have something to do with it:<BR/><BR/><I>In addition, some firearms that would normally fall into the Short Barrel Shotgun (SBS) category are not SBS. A shotgun is legally defined as a shoulder mounted firearm that fires shot. Shotguns and shotgun receivers that have never had a buttstock of any type installed are not shotguns, as they cannot be shoulder mounted. Therefore, cutting one of these below the 18" barrel and/or 26" overall length cannot produce a SBS as the firearm was never a shotgun. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives recognizes these firearms as being a smooth bore handgun which is an Any Other Weapon (AOW). Unlike a SBS, an AOW only carries a $5.00 tax and can be moved interstate without Federal approval. However, to maintain its AOW status, one may generally not have a buttstock (making it a SBS) or a rifled slug barrel (making it a Destructive Device (DD); a handgun with a bore over 0.5"). Both SBS and DD require a $200.00 transfer tax and Federal approval to transport interstate.</I><BR/><BR/>I don't know if that applies, though, when the barrel is not under 18" and the overall length is 26" or longer.Kurt '45superman' Hofmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091930034162667742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529754.post-48942651984433215382008-01-11T10:21:00.000-06:002008-01-11T10:21:00.000-06:00I was going to post a horribly offensive hate fill...I was going to post a horribly offensive hate filled rant yesterday. I deleted it. Reading it again I get just as pissed off.<BR/><BR/>This is just more of the BS cosmetic features crap, and it needs to go. What if it has a thumbhole stock? Was this something congress put in place, the bullshit about a handgrip, or is this a case of the "sporting purpose" garbage that is the result of some unelected pile of garbage's whim?<BR/><BR/>Mental gymnastics needs to get out of government AND society.
